Would you like this or find it unbearably cringe?

We have a friend with a birthday in a few weeks.

The number one song when he was born was ‘Cinderella Rockafella.’

As you’ve possibly guessed - if this was his birthday number one - he’s still a young lad and might be a bit shy and self conscious when it comes ti things like showy displays ! 🙌

His birthday’s at the beginning of March.

What my partner and I would love to do is an impromptu dance to this song when we all visit the local social club in a few weeks to celebrate his birthday.

I’m busy learning the exact lyrics for this song already!

i personally LOVE this song although some people apparently find it a bit twee

SO -

YANBU - it’s a lovely, gesture and great to take initiative at a time when most people are busy scrolling their phones and CBA to make an effort for anyone or anything!

YABU - ‘Cinderella Rockafella’ is a novelty record sung by seasoned performers and the ‘Average Joes’ of this world can’t carry off such a performance without it looking extremely naff!

It’s not that not many people ‘can be bothered’ to do it. It’s that it’s a terrible idea and most people would know that.

Every single person in that room would be dying of embarrassment for you and the birthday boy.
It will go down as the night someone tried to steal the limelight off someone else's birthday

No.

Just NO!

There's a bloke in my social group who takes every opportunity to 'perform' and we just cringe, sidle out, pretend we don't know him.

It's mortifying.

Why don't you just buy him a copy of a newspaper published on the day of his birth instead? That would be more interesting and personal. It's his birthday, after all, not your opportunity to make it all about you. Leave the poor guy to enjoy his buffet and pint in peace, please!

Please don’t don’t do this
im not shy but I’d die of second hand embarrassment

The Chicken Song, god it just got worse

I'm gonna be 57 at the start of March and until this thread I had absolutely no idea that this song was number one when I was born.

Now I can't stop wondering if I'm also gonna be lucky enough to have a friend warble it at me on my birthday.

You've raised my expectations OP.

If nobody serenades me or even yodels me " you're a lady hooo" I'm gonna be disappointed and my birthday will be ruined.

When is your next big birthday? That is the time for you to do the dance.

Chicken Song, Cinderella Rockerfella, Tip Toe thru the Tulips, Agadoo and Get Ready To Rumble.
That would aural torture to be suck in a lift with those songs on muzak repeat. Just 1 hour and I would be homicidal by the time I was rescued. 😡

Many people don't do it because it's crap, cringy and hideous.

If you really want to perform, then save it for your birthday, and do the song that was number one the day you were born.

I agree I'm afraid. It was always an awful song anyway.

No. No. No. He is unlikely to know what the number 1 song was on the day he was born, so your idea will seem extraordinarily random.

I've just sat through the song, there doesn't appear to be any dance moves?

57 is definitely not a young lad - my parents in their early 60s just became great grandparents 🤣
Seriously tho this sounds like something you would enjoy but he probably won't. Let him be the centre of attention at his own party!

Nooo!

For the benefit of those who don't know the song
It's a NOOOOO from me.

Cinderella. Rockafella
You're the lady, you're the lady that I love

I love your Jazz - Razzamatazz is my fav line

Way to make the birthday about you, I'd be mortified

Has anyone else just googled which song was no1 when they were born? 😂

Anyway... no, don't do it OP.

I remember it from when I was a kid,heard it on the radio.seeing it being performed is a whole new level of wtaf 🙇

my husband is the same age-just no please dont

Nancy ames..I don't want to talk about it
Was a big record on Nsoul scene at one time.

My no 1 song was Puppy Love by Donny Osmond. Barf. Honestly, I’d throw up on the table. We have a friend who is lovely but has ASD and literally can’t read the room. He will bring out a guitar at an inappropriate moment and “serenade” everyone with some bleh song he loves and no one else has heard of. A million points for enthusiasm, but it’s awfully cringey. (And he has an awful voice as well.) His wife is constantly saying “Oh God, please stop!” After the last time, I said to my DH “At least he’s not into dancing too!”

Plenty of shite songs over the years got to number 1.
I don't even know if there's such a thing as a 'number 1 in the charts' anymore, but there are still plenty of shite new songs around too.

Errm, i know this song as we had to do a dance to it at my dance show when I was about 7. I personally hate it. This is a really weird thing to do at a birthday. Unless, he might be the type of person who loves odd weird twee things, which is fine if he is but if you don't think he is or don't know that he is then DO NOT do this.

Because I was so appalled by the idea, I temporarily forgot how to add.
